Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Mischvorrichtung zum Mischen einer flüssigen Kunststoffkomponente mit einem Gas mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a mixing device for mixing a liquid plastic component with a gas having the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Mischvorrichtung für Mehrkomponentenkunststoffe ist in der Druckschrift EP 0 090 257 A2 offenbart. Gattungsgemäße Mischvorrichtungen (siehe z.B. EP 0 776 745 B1 ) dienen zur Herstellung einer Mischung aus einer flüssigen Kunststoffkomponente und einem Gas, wobei die Mischung unter einem über Atmosphärendruck liegenden Druck steht. Das Gas wird durch die Rührvorrichtung zumindest zum Großteil in der flüssigen Kunststoffkomponente homogen verteilt. Wird diese Mischung aus der Ausbringöffnung ausgebracht, kommt es nach Durchlaufen von im Stand der Technik üblichen Komponenten (zumindest Dosierpumpe und Ventileinrichtung) zu einem Druckabfall, das Gas bringt die flüssige Kunststoffkomponente zum Schäumen und es entsteht nach Aushärtung der geschäumten Kunststoffkomponente ein mit Poren versehener Kunststoffteil zum Beispiel in Form einer Dichtungsraupe.
Ist die Mischvorrichtung über eine längere Zeit inaktiv, kommt es zu einem Austritt von bereits in der Flüssigkeit befindlichem Gas aus der Mischkammer durch jene Dichtung hindurch, welche die Mischkammer im Bereich der Welle abdichtet. Wird die Mischvorrichtung nach der Stillstandszeit aktiviert, ist die über die Ausbringöffnung auszubringende Mischung mit zu wenig Gas versehen und es kommt zu keinem ausreichenden Schäumprozess.A mixing device for multi-component plastics is in the document EP 0 090 257 A2 disclosed. Generic mixing devices (see, eg EP 0 776 745 B1 ) are used to prepare a mixture of a liquid plastic component and a gas, wherein the mixture is at a pressure above atmospheric pressure. The gas is distributed homogeneously by the stirring device at least largely in the liquid plastic component. If this mixture is discharged from the discharge opening, after passing through conventional components in the prior art (at least metering pump and valve device), a pressure drop occurs, the gas causes the liquid plastic component to foam and, after curing of the foamed plastic component, a plastic part provided with pores is produced for example in the form of a sealing bead.
If the mixing device is inactive for a long time, gas already leaking from the mixing chamber will exit the mixing chamber through the seal which seals the mixing chamber in the region of the shaft. If the mixing device is activated after the standstill time, the mixture to be discharged via the discharge opening is provided with too little gas and there is insufficient foaming process.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Bereitstellung einer Mischvorrichtung, bei welcher die oben beschriebenen Probleme vermieden werden.The object of the invention is to provide a mixing device in which the problems described above are avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Mischvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen definiert.This object is achieved by a mixing device having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

Das aus der Mischkammer durch die Dichtung hindurch ausgetretene Gas gelangt auf die mischkammerabgewandte Seite der Dichtung in das dort angeordnete Reservoir und wird von der sich dort befindlichen flüssigen Kunststoffkomponente aufgenommen.The gas which has leaked out of the mixing chamber through the seal passes into the reservoir arranged thereon on the side of the seal which is remote from the mixing chamber and is received by the liquid plastic component located there.

Wird die Mischvorrichtung wieder in Betrieb genommen, strömt die mit dem Gas versehene flüssige Kunststoffkomponente aus dem Reservoir über die Leitung, welche das Reservoir mit der Mischkammer verbindet, wieder in die Mischkammer und wird dort durch die Rührvorrichtung mit der zu wenig Gas aufweisenden flüssigen Kunststoffkomponente homogenisiert.When the mixing device is put back into operation, the liquid plastic component provided with the gas flows from the reservoir via the line which connects the reservoir with the mixing chamber, back into the mixing chamber and is homogenized there by the stirring device with the insufficient liquid gas plastic component ,

Eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird anhand der einzigen Figur 1 diskutiert.An embodiment of the invention is based on the single FIG. 1 discussed.

Diese zeigt eine Mischvorrichtung 1 zum Mischen einer flüssigen Kunststoffkomponente mit einem Gas. Die Mischvorrichtung 1 weist wenigstens einen Flüssigkeitszulauf 2, wenigstens einen Gaszulauf 3 und eine Ausbringöffnung 11 für die in der Mischvorrichtung 1 erzeugte Mischung auf. Der Flüssigkeitszulauf 2, der Gaszulauf 3 und die Ausbringöffnung 11 sind jeweils mit einer Mischkammer 4 verbunden, in welcher eine drehbare Rührvorrichtung 5 angeordnet ist. Aus der Mischkammer 4 ragt eine Welle 6 zum Antrieb der Rührvorrichtung 5 heraus. Die Mischkammer 4 ist im Bereich der Welle 6 durch wenigstens eine Dichtung 7 abgedichtet, die im gezeigten Beispiel ringförmig ausgebildet ist. Der Gaszulauf 3 ist in diesem Beispiel mit einem Rückschlagventil ausgestattet.This shows a mixing device 1 for mixing a liquid plastic component with a gas. The mixing device 1 has at least one liquid inlet 2, at least one gas inlet 3 and an outlet opening 11 for the mixture produced in the mixing device 1. The liquid inlet 2, the gas inlet 3 and the discharge opening 11 are each connected to a mixing chamber 4, in which a rotatable stirring device 5 is arranged. From the mixing chamber 4 protrudes a shaft 6 for driving the stirring device 5 out. The mixing chamber 4 is sealed in the region of the shaft 6 by at least one seal 7, which is annular in the example shown. The gas inlet 3 is equipped in this example with a check valve.

Wenn aus der Mischkammer 4 insbesondere bei Stillstand Gas austritt, gelangt dieses auf die mischkammerabgewandte Seite 10 der wenigstens einen Dichtung 7. Dort ist ein mit dem wenigstens einen Flüssigkeitszulauf 2 verbundenes und mit der flüssigen Kunststoffkomponente gefülltes Reservoir 8 angeordnet, das von der Dichtung 7 bzw. deren mischkammerabgewandten Seite 10 begrenzt ist. Über eine Leitung 9 ist dieses Reservoir 8 mit der Mischkammer 4 verbunden.When gas escapes from the mixing chamber 4, in particular at standstill, it reaches the side 10 of the at least one seal 7 remote from the mixing chamber. There, a reservoir 8 connected to the at least one liquid inlet 2 and filled with the liquid plastic component is arranged whose mixing chamber side facing away from 10 is limited. Via a line 9, this reservoir 8 is connected to the mixing chamber 4.

Herrscht im Reservoir 8 und der Mischkammer 4 im Wesentlichen derselbe Druck, so verringert dies die Gasaustrittsrate des Gases aus der Mischkammer 4 in das Reservoir 8.If essentially the same pressure prevails in the reservoir 8 and the mixing chamber 4, this reduces the gas escape rate of the gas from the mixing chamber 4 into the reservoir 8.

In der Fig. 1 erkennbar sind außerdem zwei ringförmige weitere Dichtungen 13, welche das Reservoir 8 gegenüber der Welle 6 abgrenzen bzw. abdichten.In the Fig. 1 also recognizable are two annular further seals 13, which delimit the reservoir 8 relative to the shaft 6 and seal.

In der Leitung 9 ist ein Rückschlagventil 14 angeordnet. Dadurch kann ein massiver Rückfluss im Falle einer Leckage im Bereich des Reservoirs 8 ausgeschlossen werden. Des Weiteren ist das Gehäuse 16 der Mischkammer 4 von einem Kühlmantel 12 umgeben. Der Kühlmantel 12 begrenzt einen Kühlraum 15, welcher von einem Fluid zum Kühlen der Mischkammer 4 durchströmbar ist.In line 9, a check valve 14 is arranged. As a result, a massive return flow in the event of a leakage in the region of the reservoir 8 can be excluded. Furthermore, the housing 16 of the mixing chamber 4 is surrounded by a cooling jacket 12. The cooling jacket 12 defines a cooling space 15, which can be flowed through by a fluid for cooling the mixing chamber 4.
